Wellness Day
HMI’s annual Wellness Day welcomes employees to “a health fair” comprised of health representatives and local vendors, answering employees questions about health and safety.

Crusaders for Cancer Golf Tournament
The idea was initiated in 2002 by employees with the first tournament raising approximately $7,000 with 40 golfers.  The event is usually held in July and in 2007, with 124 golfers; this event raised approximately $18,000 to benefit the American Cancer Society. 

Bring Your Child To Work Day
HMI employees and families participate in Take Your Child To Work Day activities. Employees have a chance to share with their families, the role they play in HMI’s rich history of supporting the aerospace industry. The half day activities may include a factory tour and suiting up for a visit into our clean room, a presentation on safety in the home or learning about rare animals and their habitats. Refreshments with their families close out the day.
